'Gnaw the bone that falls to thy lot', a Group Show at Kimberly Klark, New York

The wife brought the mirror and all of the fine furnishings into the cellar to her own home and proudly displayed it

[A long sliver of light, a curious curl of wax, a brass chair housed by the cat]

She hung the mirror in the room of their daughter,

a dark-haired coquette

[eyes of a shadowed mouse]

who glanced at herself in the mirror

and was drawn into Lilith’s web

[never-ending and ripe]

For that mirror had hung in the den of demons

[The demolition crew]

When it was taken from the haunted house, the demoness came with it.

For every mirror is a gateway to the Other World and leads directly to Lilith’s cave. 1
